Tour of Missouri Stage 1 Live

Low resolution video stream here currently: http://tourofmissouritracker.com/

Universalsports is supposed to have higher resolution video for last 2 hours of race. The relay plane is not up until then.

CyclingNews has a live ticker at: http://live.cyclingnews.com/

Stage information from the official website:

Stage 1 – St. Louis, circuit race, 75 miles (120.7 km)

A new kickoff point for the third Tour of Missouri will be a showcase of St. Louis on Labor Day Weekend. While the terrain is relatively easy, the course is fast and technical, which will make things interesting from the start. Everyone will have fresh legs and a shot at the first yellow jersey of the tour, making this opening day an exciting one.

The announcer seems to like Columbia...

“Team Columbia… H! T! C! What a beautiful sight!”

If he keeps this level of excitement the next couple of hours I'm gonna be impressed

I’m sure that not even Moises Aldapes wife is so excited to see him as that Towle guy is.

Who are the guy with

Vaitcus and Chris Anker?

That's a matter of definition

There’s a race on now.

103 KM to go

Vaitkus, Aldapa Sanchez and Anker Sorenson in a break that seems to be about to get caught.

The tracker is way off, isn't it?

They’ve done 4 laps now I think.

I think the announcer is wrong.

CN has:

First KOM results are:

1 Chris Anker Sorensen (Team Saxo Bank)
2 Moises Aldape Chavez (Team Type 1)
3 Tomas Vaitkus (Astana)
4 David Veilleux (Kelly Benefit Strategies)
5 Andy Jacques-Maynes (Bissell Pro Cycling)

The break is approaching the end of lap four and there’s 10 laps so…

by ZoeRochelle on Sep 7, 2009 4:39 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The KOM was at 43,1 km

were they planning on showing the race at all, or are we supposed to be so entranced...

…by Frankie that we didn’t notice anything missing?

I'm already annoyed

They’re interrupting the show by switching to some damn cycle commuters every now and then.

Yes

It was just a bad joke, the commuters were supposed to be the riders in the breakaway.

Eh...

Did they show the Danish flag next to Vaitkus name? Whatever it was, it was definitely not the Lithuanian flag.

It will be correct eventually

If they only change it often enough

It's the British for Vaitkus now

As Civetta hinted above. I’m pretty sure it was the Danish flag earlier.

it’s indisputably him

by civetta on Sep 7, 2009 5:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

what don't you get?

he’s answering people… he does that

by civetta on Sep 7, 2009 5:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

On his page are only messages from him. In some of them, he quotes what other people wrote to him (“RT” = re-tweet).

by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

everything that that you see on his page

is stuff he’s sent… if it says RT @someoneorother, then he’s re-sending/commenting on something someone else has said to him.

Really, it’s easier to give in & sign up…

by civetta on Sep 7, 2009 6:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes. You have to "follow" someone to see their tweets on your page.

Or you can click on your “mentions” and it shows you everyone that used your username.

by ZoeRochelle on Sep 7, 2009 6:02 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ok.. I'm a slow learner..

Nice to some see it like it is: RT This is evans?
@erwindewit: @CadelOfficial i am in shame to be a Dutch today :-( What was Geesink thinking
From someone else? And what is the @?
about 1 hour ago from TwitterFon
Ok sorry you also have a race to follow

by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 6:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes that was from Evans

He re-posted for all of us to see what a guy named ‘erwindewit’ wrote to him and added some commentary of his own (“Nice to some see it like it is”). The @-sign is pronounced ‘at’ (to, directed at), used to reply to other users. If you write @foobar it automatically becomes a link to the Twitter page of user ‘foobar.’

by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Another question.. If I look on your profile(?) I see

RT @CadelOfficial: @Frankster1967 ‘Watch Gesink’ – wish I’d got this tweet before the stage!!!!
about 1 hour ago from Tweetie

Why is that on your screen?

by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ted was just retweeting Cadel's tweet.

Meaning Ted repeated the tweet that someone else had already tweeted.

by ZoeRochelle on Sep 7, 2009 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thanks both! I think I understand it.. Or half of it!

Next step is going to use it but that is a long shot.. For now

by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 6:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's the easiest part:

Just sign up for an account and start following people (go to their page and click ‘Follow’). You will get their tweets all on one page without doing anything else.

by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because I sent it out

I re-tweeted what Evans replied to ‘Frankster1967’ because I thought it was kind of funny and wanted to share with my audience (heh). Replies to other users (like this one from Evans to Frankster) don’t show up on other users’ screens unless they are following both, so despite it being a public reply (you can see it on Evans’ page if you go there) it’s still a bit hidden. Just a way to get it out there.

by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:27 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ha! Just checked in--

Paul Sherwin and Frankie Andreau—not bad for a little ol’ US race eh?

So Frankie and Paul have to mention the entire team names?

Nice to watch decent coverage, live, at a reasonable time. Two Pro races from Quebec next year.
